Editors, anchors, columnists, correspondents… tens of media personnel have been badly mauled in the eyes of news consumers, in the Niira Radia scandal.

But do the proprietors and managers really care?

Vir Sanghvi has suspended his weekly column in the Hindustan Times while merrily writing on food. The buck still stops at Barkha Dutt‘s table at 10 pm on NDTV while she fights a lonely battle from the trenches of Twitter.

Chawla, who got a most perplexing certificate of merit from The Hindu‘s editor-in-chief N. Ram, on the India Today-owned TV station Headlines Today, however, has had a slightly inauspicious entry. The outgoing TNIE team of Aditya Sinha has carried this brief excerpt involving Chawla from the second tranche of the Radia tapes.

Nira Radia is awesome. She is an amazingly energetic woman. She has the biggest journous, politicians and corporates in her pockets. We indians should utilize her talents and make her our foriegn minister or atleast make her an ambassador to the US.

In India people are innocent only until they are exposed. We have built a society where it pays off to be corrupt.

The role of a government should be to promote an atmosphere where it is easier to do good and harder to do bad, but the society we have built in India works exactly on the opposite of the above statement.
